Non Nissan Engine Swaps

Chevy V8[edit | edit source]

The most common swap is to an LS series (aluminum block), which is most popular from the Corvette (but was also used in other vehicles such as the Trailblazer SS, Cadillac CTS-V, & 05/06 Pontiac GTO). The iron LT blocks should be do-able also. There is a 6 speed manual transmission available.

Specs and Versions[edit | edit source]

LS1, 5.7L = 350hp LS2, 6.0L = 400hp LS6, 5.7L = 400hp LS7, 7.0L = 505hp LS9, 6.2L(supercharged) = 638hp
